While funding formulas differ across jurisdictions, two key planning principles can avoid a lot of problems. First, develop a rolling plan that extends over a period between 3 and 5 years, and second, secure a fixed annual budget allocation for maintenance of existing technologies based on the multiyear plan.

The resources allocated to the UN by its member states are grossly inadequate. The annual budget for the core functions - the Secretariat operations in New York, Geneva, Nairobi, Vienna, and five Regional Commissions - is 1.25 billion. This is about 4% of New York City s annual budget - and nearly a billion dollars less than the yearly cost of Tokyo s Fire Department. The entire UN system (excluding the World Bank and International Monetary Fund) spends 12 billion a year. By comparison, annual world military expenditures - 1 trillion - would pay for the entire UN system for more than 65 years.

An allocation of iq) to 6 percent of the annual operating budget for information systems is not unrealistic. A summary of contemporary infoimation systems is included in the Table 37.3.
